excellent review
whats the name app that you got on yours
wich dist of linux is running? puppy? I’ll like to know wich is best for this config
only a noob would question such a question
I watch youtube on mine, you can either install a youtube app or install skyfire browser which gives you the full internet with flash.. but seriously people, you can get a low end netbook ‘acer aspire’ with 1GB of ram and 1.6 Ghz cpu etc with win xp or linux for £100 on ebay or £159 groundbreaking new from shops, there’s no need to torcher yourself with this snail of a thing which only has 128mb of ram!!
I bought one for my daughter and it connected to my wireless router without any problem. She’s chatting to friends on it right now! I bought this from Maplins in Norwich for £119 which is brilliant. Very pleased with it, and will probably get myself one at some time.
No. Those OSs are compiled only for Intel-based (x86) processors, and the CnMBook runs on an ARM926 processor.
OK. This is a linux machine. It has a MSN Messenger client installed. You can get Windows CE on if you do not like linux. Youtube does work if you use the Videos online app.
It is preloaded
There is a Wifi patch online to download, Or you can place windows CE on it
Yes you can download like a normal PC
No, Not touch
is it touchscreen
?
can you download thing form online to the computer?
Fantastic review
I’ve just got one from Maplin today, on special offer while stocks last. For me setting up WiFi has been a problem so far, I will be getting my brother to sort it out at the weekend though – so no real problem there.
I’m a Linux newbie, but this is a FANTASTIC small laptop for the price I paid (£90). Installing software via memory stick has been real simple. Navigating around it is also real simple.
Could you get MSN on it?
if i stuck an sd card with windows ME or 2000 into the netbook, could i boot up those operating systems?
fantastic review. i seen this on maplin website and i was goint to get it for my daughter for a first kinda laptop as she is only 11 so im not wanting to spend huge bux on a lappy
im familiar with wince products and find them quite excellent for mobile media and web on the go the only thing stopping me purchasing this is it dont support youtube
is there any way to have youtube working on this? and also is it msn or msn live compatable, i might place in some more bux and get one that runs xp
pretty cool. Would run xenon. Might be worth getting.
yeah i want to buy these netbook on maplin earlier but i wanna know more about the feautures it has… like can u change the theme to windos xp rather than that windows 95-98 looking theme??? it looks ancient dats’s all…
thnx
